Chondrosarcoma is an uncommon malignant bone tumour characterized by
formation of cartilage by tumour cells with a reported incidence of 9% amongst
primary malignancies of the bone and is often located in pelvis and long bones.
Chondrosarcoma of the hand and feet is a rare entity. There are only three reported
cases of de-differentiated chondrosarcoma of small bones of hand and feet reported
in literature. We present the clinical and radiological presentation, management and
follow up of a patient who was diagnosed to be a case of de-differentiated
chondrosarcoma on histology (the most malignant variant of chondrosarcoma).
